COINNP.Entities 1.0.0

COIN Number Portability Entities

This library, available on NuGet, provides the COIN Number Porting (NP) messages as records. These messages are a close representation of the messages defined by Vereniging-COIN.Sdk.NP. This library provides functionality to make life easier in an 'idiomatic C#' way, whereas COIN's library may have a few design choices that do not always align with best practices or latest standards. This library aims to solve that, without breaking COIN's API or asking COIN to change / break their API and/or NP library.

Among others, this library:

• Uses records (immutable) for models (i.e. NP messages and the related objects)
• Uses correct types (like TimeSpan for Ttl, DateTimeOffset for datetime values, bools for boolean values, decimals for monetary values, actual enums for enum values like these etc.)
• Hides Content, Seq and Repeats etc. and makes enumerable items on an object "first-class citizens" implemented as IEnumerables, for example:

  public record RangeActivation(
      string DossierId,
      string CurrentNetworkOperator,
      string OptaNr,
      DateTimeOffset PlannedDateTime,
      IEnumerable<RangeActivationItem> Items
  ) : Message(209, DossierId) { }
  
  public record RangeActivationItem(
      NumberSerie NumberSerie,
      string? PoP
  );
  

  Which simplifies use.
• Is nullable aware
• Provides NP messages that are actually serializable to/from JSON without additional work; It-just-works� because they're plain POCO's (with the exception of Message which contains type discriminators because of it's polymorphic nature).

This library is used by COINNP.Client.
